    Season 2 Episode 2 - Sunshard:Embren

    Owen and Chris talk have resorted to the lowest levels of shillery and talk about Owen's new game, Sunshard:Embren, which is running a Kickstarter starting on November 19th. In all seriousness, if you liked Dark Age, it's worth giving this game a look.

    Season 2 Episode 1: Riot Quest

    Riot Quest. Riot Quest. Riiiioootttttt Queeeesssstttt. What more needs to be said? Oh, I guess a little bit more! We're back, with a seasonal set of releases rather than appearing in pog form. Why? Beyond not having Privateer Press licensing off the majority of their IPs to Steamforged Games on our Keno cards, because we felt like it. Look forward to some episodes released in clusters as our time allows. And remember, you can kill a wargame. You can't kill a podcast about dead wargames!

    Episode 32: An Oral History of Warmachine

    Come hear the tale of the game with more Marks than the C&C Music Factory. Chris and Owen cover the history of the first three versions of Warmachine/Hordes and discuss our thoughts on the future of the game. Also, there's a surprise at the end. I'm not just teasing that in the typical social media way. Really. I promise; no NordVPN promo.

    Episode 31: CaptainCon 2023 / Legions of Steel

    Billy: "Mom, I want Space Hulk" Mom: "We have Space Hulk at home" Home: ::Has Legions of Steel:: ***** Chris and Owen recount their time at CaptainCon 2023, playing dead games and talking to live gamers.  Then, they discuss Global Games' tabletop miniature classic, Legions of Steel, better known as Canadian Space Hulk.  Is this the Avril Lavigne of dungeon crawlers?  Tune in to find out, eh. Notes: At one point, Owen refers to Warhammer 40,000 as "Warmachine 40,000".  He apologies to Games Workshop and Privateer Press fans everywhere.

    Episode 30: Judgement version 1 featuring Andrew Galea

    Andrew Galea of Gunmeister Games joins us to talk about the original version of Judgement, a 54 mm scale skirmish wargame.  Recenrly, Judgement underwent a significant set of changes and became Judgement: Eternal Champions, a 32 mm scale wargame played on a hex mat released in conjunction with Creature Caster.  Andrew walks through what's changed, what was left behind in version 1, and correctly identifies that deep dish "pizza" is the American equivalent of Vegemite. Note 1: There's some weird audio interference on Andrew's audio, caused by either Outback noises or men at work (as in men working, not the band).  We've removed as much of it as possible, but unfortunately, some still slips through.  Chris also has some unusual clicking in his audio.  We've tracked this down to his headphone cable hitting the mic or his processing of Taylor Ham during recording.  A corrective and preventative action plan has been put in place to make sure this doesn't happen again. Note 2: Around the 58 minute mark, we called Andrew our first international guest.  Chris correctly pointed out that we had Ash Baker on, one of the leading drivers of Canada's GDP.  Owen was under the impression that America had already annexed the nation of Tim Hortons.  He attributes this error to his public school education.

    Episode 29: Holiday Special 2022 ft. Surprise Guest!

    It's that special time of year when we drink, give thanks, and record somewhat self-indulgent podcasts about broad wargames industry trends.  It's the Dead Wargamers Society 2022 Holiday Special, featuring a special surprise guest.  Is it Tom Cruise?  Tom Hanks?  You'll just have to listen to find out! Some corrections: Owen referenced "DSG Games", when he should have referenced "DGS Games".  He also said "iteratively" when he should have said "recursively".  Don't drink and podcast, kids!

    Episode 28: Vor: The Maelstrom

    Vor: The Maelstrom; the other V:tM from the '90s. Vor's a classic, goofy, science fiction wargame that was published by FASA. It's probably their best-known sci-fi wargame that's not Battletech. Chris hasn't played the game, Owen has and he tries to convince him to check it out. Hi-jinks ensue. Somewhere along the way, listener and friend-of-the-podcast Shay gets thrown under a bus. I won't say this is getting in formulaic, but a pattern is emerging...

    Episode 27: Back to Eden

    Reminisce about the Fall of 2020, as we revisit the classic French post-apocalyptic wargame (Eden) that we covered in Episode 2.  It's Halloween season and what's more appropriate than a dead game (spoooOOOoooky) and a sequel?  What's change about our thoughts on Eden in the past two years?  Come find out!
